7.62x54R Mosin Nagant Steel Bullet Keyring | Keychain

The Longest-Serving Rifle Round

Russia adopted the 7.62x54R in 1891 for the Mosin-Nagant bolt-action rifle, and it has never left service. It armed Russian and Soviet soldiers through both World Wars, and it still feeds the SVD Dragunov marksman rifle and the PK general purpose machine gun. Few military cartridges can match that record.

The “R” stands for rimmed – it is one of the very few rimmed rifle rounds still in front-line military use.

Copper-Washed Steel

Like a lot of Soviet-bloc ammunition, this round has a steel case with a thin copper wash to resist corrosion. We clean it but leave it unpolished, so it keeps the warm, slightly uneven bronze tone of surplus ammunition rather than the bright shine of brass.

FAQ

Q: Is this a Mosin bullet? Yes – it is the 7.62x54R, the cartridge of the Mosin-Nagant rifle, often just called the 7.62 Mosin.

Q: Is the case really steel? Yes – steel with a copper wash. A magnet will stick to it.

Q: Why is it not polished? We leave it in its original finish so it keeps the surplus look. Expect small marks and variation in colour.

Q: Is it safe to carry? Yes. It is fully inert and legal to own and carry in the UK without a licence. Always check with your airline before travelling abroad with this item.

Q: Does the SKS use this round? No – the SKS fires the shorter 7.62×39. The 7.62x54R is the Mosin-Nagant, SVD Dragunov and PK round.
